If you keep your working drive small such as 20-40k you can use dd to copy it all to a monster drive.

There is also BRU which a friend will help me setup. I am told it creates an install set of CDRW. Likely DVDR will soon be supported.

Nothing anybody has wriiten so far has disabused me of that notion. The problem of "dual boot" on XP machines, is compunded by the fact that MS uses the hard drive ID to prevent "piratecy"... that's why I said... "YaST2 needs to be able to re-size NTFS Partitions" And it sounds like there are a number of way we can achieve that...for I recall someone saying despite the belief to the contrary, YaST2 is also Open-source, CMIIAW.
